News Article: Zach Bogosian - Signs with Tampa

[Arthur Morgan]

I guess he's not going to be claimed? think anyone signs him as a Free Agent? or he done in the NHL?

 

[Intermission]

One last Matthew Coller : 'bust'

 

[kenfury]

He'll be around as the spare defenseman for the next game, won't he?

Please, he will be playing 4th line RW and you know it.

 

[sabregoat]

He will probably clear waivers and then traded at 50% retained to a team that’d needs a Dman now due to injuries and when their injured player is healthy, they can send him down with out fear of losing him.

This, the 10/30 rule plays a role in this move

Holy crap. Amerks got a new DJ!

 

[Bendium]

Are the Amerks against the Vet max? Maybe that's why Gilmore had to come up?

 

[flashsabre]

Probably a big wake up call for Bogo’s ego. If he doesn’t report can they terminate him?

The vet cap wouldn't force them to bring Gilmour up. It only limits the amount of vets they can dress in a game, so someone would have to sit.

Man i never liked Bogo to begin with, but seeing those stats really makes me happy hes gone. Everyone can say what they want to about Botts, and they do, but GMTM really screwed this franchise over with the "deals" he made.

 

[jc17]

Bogosian mad at the world for getting waived and not claimed, wrecking guys in the AHL is something I'll look forward to seeing. Will be sad if he just checks out but fun to watch if he gets after it

 

[Sabre Dance]

The 1st real roster move to help the Sabres Botterill has made IMO. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

Tbh I would have just told Bogo to go home. I can't picture him responding well to a demotion when his reaction to getting scratched once was to ask for a trade

Lol

Jack has to stop making friends with bad/burned out players.

That might be what they end up doing, but they still have to assign him to Rochester to open up his roster spot.

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

Fishing season starts early this year.

I bet someone gives him a one year show me deal next year based solely on pedigree. He gets injured again and is then done.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

That’s rough. Hopefully eichel understands the business end of it. Hate to see him turn bitter because of bogosian.

I think that is being blown out of proportion. I would imagine that his trade request had a whole lot more to do with him becoming the odd man out in our deep defensive pool than it did a trigger reaction to being benched.
